durma.2020.3.965 | durma.2020.3.965-ff.jpg | data/raw/images/fulling_mill/2020 | Just over half of a copper-alloy mount or applique dating to the second or third centuries AD. The mount comprises a flat semi-circular disc with a central circular piercing measuring 3mm in diameter. The circumference of the upper surface of the mount is decorated with regularly-spaced diagonal incisions measuring 2mm in length. The underside of the mount is plain although some file marks are visible. The mount appears to have been pierced by punching a sharp object through from the front to the underside as there is a slight ridge around the piercing. The mount has a diameter of 30mm and a maximum thickness of 1mm. It weighs 1g. The mount is not complete, having been broken in half.It is possible that this mount represents a simple phalera from a baldric or Roman military belt, similar to that known from the Lyon burial (Bishop and Coulston 2009, 160, Fig. 101, no. 4). | unidentified | null | null | Roman | null | data/processed/OM_images_white/fulling_mill/2020 |

durma.2020.3.223 | durma.2020.3.223-ff.jpg | data/raw/images/fulling_mill/2020 | A copper-alloy pin with a glass head dating to the Roman period. The shaft of the pin is circular in section and both flattens and tapers at one end to form a point. At the other end, it also flattens and widens to a lozengiform area to accommodate a circular perforation. Beyond the perforation, the pin then tapers again to a point. A spherical turquoise glass bead with paler turquoise swirls and a small indentation to accommodate the point of the pin has been attached to form an unusual pin head. The pin measures 89mm in length. The stem has a diameter of 2mm. The lozengiform area has a width of 3mm. The bead has a diameter of 7mm. | pins | null | copper alloy | Roman | null | data/processed/OM_images_white/fulling_mill/2020 |

durma.2020.3.872 | durma.2020.3.872-ff.jpg | data/raw/images/fulling_mill/2020 | A lead-alloy plaque depicting a deity, probably Mercury, from a portable shrine or aedicula dating to the second or third century AD. Part of the Piercebridge River Assemblage. The plaque depicts a naked male, missing his head but with drapery over his left shoulder and a muscled torso. A club, torch (or caduceus) rests against his left arm. The drapery is rendered on the underside of the plaque where it falls from the left shoulder down the male's back and appears to be draped over his elbow. The figure is rendered within a frame, possibly intended to represent the branches of a tree. His legs have been twisted together and with the frame in what appears to be an act of mutilation post-manufacture. Note the similarity with depictions of the naked Mercury, such as the Farnese Hermes in the British Museum(https://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details/collection_image_gallery.aspx?partid=1&assetid=1606861001&objectid=406254#more-views). It also bears some similarity to two 'appliqu� statuettes of Bacchic figures' which also have a frame of branches found deposited in the spa and shrine complex at Bourbonne-Les-Bains, France (Sauer 2005, p. 170, Fig 51 and Pl. XI). The plaque measures 45mm in length, a maximum width of 23mm and a thickness of between 1mm and 2mm. It weighs 7.2g.A similar lead figurine within a decorative lead 'cupboard' was recovered during the excavations at Segedunum. The figurine may also represent Mercury (it has a winged head-dress or helmet and may carry a purse), although the cupboard depicts symbols associated with Sol and the figure is accompanied by a dolphin and bridled seahorse. It is possible that the watery creatures indicate his specific role as protector of those travelling on water or across the River Styx (Allason-Jones 2016 The Small Finds, p. 171 in A. Rushworth and A. Croom eds. Segedunum. Excavations by Charles Daniels in the Roman Fort at Wallsend (1975-1984) Volume II: The Finds.)Allason-Jones notes with regard to the Segedunum example that the use of lead is unusual as the lead figurines and reliefs known from Roman Britain are few in number and poor in quality. Two lead openwork reliefs from Gorsium in Hungary are somewhat similar (Banki, Z 1972 Az Istvan Kiraly Muzeum Gyujtemenye. Romai Kori Figuralis Bronz, Ezust es Olom Targyak, nos. 29,30). Other examples from Roman Britain include a shrine with figurine of Minerva from Dorchester (Henig 1993, Copper-alloy and non-ferrous metalwork. In: Woodward, P.J., Davies, S.M. and Graham, A.H. eds. Excavations at Greyhound Yard, Dorchester 1981-4. Dorset Natural History and Archaeological Society Monograph 12, Fig 72); and one from the macellum in Wroxeter (Lloyd-Morgan 2000, The Venus Shrine. In Ellis, P. (ed.) The Roman Baths and Macellum at Wroxeter. Excavations by Graham Webster 1955-85. English Heritage Archaeological Report 9, 141-2, Fig. 4.31; 137). A fragment of a door stratified in a mid to late fourth century floor level was found at Vindolanda (Vindolanda Museum Ref. 2033) and another from Trinity Square, London in a layer dated to the period AD 250 to 400 (Howell, Wroe-Brown and Thorp with Davis, Pipe and Wardle 2015 'New evidence for the development of the Roman city wall: excavations at 38-40 Trinity Square, London EC3' London Archaeologist Autumn 2015, 147) although contextualised finds in Pannonia suggest a second or third century date (cf. T�th, E and Sosztarits, O (2016) 'Assemblage of votive offerings.' In: T�th, Vida and Takacs (eds.) Saint Martin and Pannonia. Christianity on the frontiers of the Roman World. II. Pannonia before Christianity. Pannonhalma-Szombathely, 194-197.A lead plaque of a similar type depicting Fortuna was found at the Springhead Temple complex (Schuster 2011, 270, No. 302, Fig 119 and 271, Pl. 16)._x000D__x000D_

durma.2020.3.897 | durma.2020.3.897-ff.jpg | data/raw/images/fulling_mill/2020 | An incomplete iron T-shaped clamp dating to the Roman or medieval period. The clamp possesses a tapering square-sectioned shaft, corroded and broken at the tip, with a head at the other end formed of a curving semi-circular rectangular-sectioned strip with pointed tips. Unlike other T-clamps from the site, this has a heavily curved head, indicating that it was used to secure a curved piece of wood in place. Manning (1985, 132) suggests that curved examples such as this are more likely to have been used in vehicles, such as wagons, than structures, but identical rivets can be seen on the scythes from Newstead, whilst Goodall (1980, fig.76) shows similar fittings on a medieval well cover. | clamps | null | null | Roman | null | data/processed/OM_images_white/fulling_mill/2020 |

durma.2020.3.2314 | durma.2020.3.2314.1-bb.jpg | data/raw/images/fulling_mill/2020 | A copper-alloy Knee brooch (Mackreth's decorated Knee Type 1.a dating to the late second or early third century AD. The head of the brooch comprises a tubular spring-casing at the apex of which extends a small, circular head-loop, with a slightly off-centre perforation. The tubular spring-casing is decorated with two applied horizontal, beaded ribs of white metal which extend across its full width and has circular, pierced end-plates to hold the axis bar in place. The spring and pin are intact. The head extends to a gently arched bow which is D-shaped in section. The bow tapers and then expands slightly to form a semi-circular, forward-facing foot with a flat base. The bow is decorated with two central vertical, beaded ribs of applied white metal which run the length of the bow; flanking these ribs are four triangular cells, all of which contain traces of blue enamel. There are also two rows of four applied white metal globules positioned marginally along the bow and between the enamel cells; and a single silver globule at each corner of the foot. The catchplate is solid and trapezoidal. The brooch measures 41mm in length; the head measures 12mm in width; the foot measures 7mm in width. _x000D__x000D_
_x000D__x000D_
The brooch is similar to Bayley and Butcher's Type 173A, which is widespread on both military and civilian sites in Britain (Bayley and Butcher 2004, 180). A very similar ,but smaller example (33mm in length) was found during the excavations at Piercebridge (Cat. No. 12). Butcher comments in the archive report (pdf/Ch11DBrooches.pdf) that: 'this appears to be a British variant of the usual knee brooch, well-known on the German limes, where it is dated to the second half of the second century (cf Böhme 1972, 22). Very similar examples are known from Gadebridge, Herts., (Neal 1974, fig 55, 25, 27), Catsgore, Somerset (Leech 1982,107 fig 77 no 22), Gloucester (Mackreth in Heighway and Garrod,1980, 105 fig 14 no 1, 105). In the northern part of Britain the same form is more often decorated with silver cf. several from Camelon (unpublished) and Traprain (Burley 1958, 160 nos 37 and 38, 160). Some of the Camelon brooches are from Antonine contexts and it is probable that the British production is of the same date as those from Germany, i.e. later second century'. See Mackreth 2011, 189 for a discussion of the type which notes that the white metal trim is a 'peculiarly British technique'._x000D__x000D_

The strap end is circular in section and tapers to a spherical end knob. The phallus is circumferentially ribbed. The strap end possesses a circular suspension loop, which is broken. The pendant measures 36mm in length and has a maximum width of 13mm. The pendant weighs 14.6 grams.The pendant can be paralleled in Nicolay (2007) Armed Batavians, p. 404, Pl. 93, no. 209.64 where it is identified as a horse gear pendant dating to the period AD 120-250/300. See also examples from Zugmantel (Cat No. 416), Aalen (Cat. No. 414) and Pfunz (Cat. No. 415) in Oldenstein 1976, 253 and Taf 42.

The object is broken into two separate pieces. One piece comprises the copper-alloy composite terminal with the remains of a rectangular-section iron tang sandwiched between it. Each element of the composite terminal is rectangular in plan and a faceted hemisphere in section, flaring slightly at one end to form a hemispherical terminal. The iron tang survives beyond the end of the terminal.The second piece comprises a composite handle with the iron tang of two rectangular-section prongs extending from one end and the ?blade from the other. The copper-alloy composite element comprise two pieces which are rectangular in plan and hemispherical in section. At the end where the blade extends, each element flattens to form a flat, fingernail-shaped area. The blade appears long and narrow, which may discount an interpretation as a wax spatula. However, it is extremely corroded and damaged. This piece is paralleled by a second example from the riverine deposited recorded on the PAS database as BM-CF72AB.The smaller object is 21mm in length, the handle with a circular section diameter of 12mm. The blade is 24mm long, 8.5mm wide and 3.5mm thick. The larger object is 71mm in length with the handle a circular section diameter of 11mm.

It measures 39mm in length, a maximum of 21mm in width and 3mm in thickness. It weighs 2g.The pendant is very similar to one found in a barrack block at Caerleon (Chapman 2005, p. 152, no. Wf02) as well as examples from Maurik (Zadoks-Josephus Jitta and Witteveen 1977, 177, pl. 30, no. 3) and Vechten in the Netherlands (ibid, 179-80, no. 5) and from the German Limes (Oldenstein 1976, 162-4, Taf. 45, nos. 444 and 447). These parallels have been dated from around the mid second to the first half of the third century AD. Although often identified as harness pendants both Chapman (Chapman 2005, 152) and Bishop (Bishop 1992, 81-91) suggest that they were used as decorative amulets on military aprons. However, Hoss notes that the lunulae on the soldiers' apron pendants are open and have internal hangers, rather being closed and holding balls (Hoss pers comm.) | pendants | null | null | Roman | null | data/processed/OM_images_white/fulling_mill/2020 |

durma.2020.3.153 | durma.2020.3.153.ff.jpg | data/raw/images/fulling_mill/2020 | A fragment of a Roman copper-alloy object in the form of an axe dating to the second or third century AD, part of the Piercebridge Assemblage. It may be part of a skeuomorphic plate brooch in the form of an axe, an axe-headed pin dating to approximately the same period or a miniature axe of the type catalogued by Kiernan 2009, 220-267). The fragment comprises a flat plate resembling an axe. The axe-blade, wedge and hemispherical-section haft are all rendered. The haft appears to be broken at its terminal. The break is old. On the underside of the plate, in the area just below the wedge is a small, rectangular extension, possibly the remains of the attachment loops for a hinged brooch pin. However, its function is not altogether clear. The fragment measures 26mm in length and 22mm in width. The axe blade area of the plate measures 2mm in thickness, except at the point of the rectangular extension where it measures 4mm in thickness. The haft measures 3mm in thickness._x000D__x000D_

Axe-shaped brooches, pins and miniature axes are frequently found on Romano-British temple sites and are thought to have religious resonances. Axe-headed brooches tend to be enamelled and this example is not, although Mackreth 2011, 180 does record three examples which are not. He suggests that non-enamelled axe brooches may be later than enamelled ones and notes that the only examples with contextual information date to the period AD 180-350 (Camerton) and the late third century (Nettleton). A similar fragmentary example without enamel was found at Aldborough and is published as No. 343 (Fig. 33) Bishop, M.C.(1996) Finds from Roman Aldborough.

durma.2020.3.2317 | durma.2020.3.2317-ff.jpg | data/raw/images/fulling_mill/2020 | A Roman copper-alloy Knee brooch dating to the late second or early third century AD. The head comprises a flat, plain, semi-circular plate which has suffered some damage. Corrosion products adhere to the upper surface of the headplate. On the reverse, there are two semi-circular pierced lugs to hold the axis bar; a small part of the brooch spring survives in a corroded state between the lugs.The bow is arched, faceted, D-shaped in section and hollow. It extends to a flat, triangular foot, which is marginally grooved. The catchplate is trapezoidal in shape and extends the full length of the foot. The brooch measures 41mm in length; the head measures 22mm in width; the foot measures 15mm in width. Bayley and Butcher classify this as a Type 171 and note that it is more common in Britain and rare or missing on continental sites. It occurs on military sites including South Shields, but also on southern civilian sites. The only dated examples come from a drain at the the legionary fortress of Caerleon dating to AD 160-230 and from the Jewry Wall site at Leicester dating to about AD 220 (Bayley and Butcher 2004, 179-180)._x000D__x000D_

durma.2020.3.475 | durma.2020.3.475-ff.jpg | data/raw/images/fulling_mill/2020 | A complete copper-alloy stud, probably a belt fitting dating to the second half of the second to the mid third century AD, part of the Piercebridge River Assemblage. The stud possesses a head which is circular in plan and conical in section. From the underside of the head there extends a circular-section lug which terminates in a flat circular end plate. The stud measures 18.5mm in length. The head has a diameter of 12mm and is 5mm in thickness, while the flat circular end plate has a diameter of 8mm and a thickness of 1mm. The circular section stem is 4mm in diameter. Radman-Livaja (2008, 298) comments '..quite a frequent find on Roman sites, and even though their use on the straps of a horse harness cannot be ruled out, it is more likely that they served for fastening a belt with a ring- or rectangular buckle.' It has been noted that studs used as fasteners for ring buckles have heads measuring between 18mm and 33mm in diameter and measure between 14mm and 26mm in height, whereas those associated with horse harness measure between 16mm and 19mm in diameter and height (Gschwind 2004, 169-170). This example although the correct length for a belt fastener has a very small head diameter and is therefore probably associated with horse harness._x000D__x000D_

If a weight, the object could be classified as a Tyrell (2015) Type A1: a disc-shaped weight with a central circular perforation. Although resembling a spindle whorl, the diameter of the perforation is not big enough to accommodate a spindle effectively. At Elm's Farm, Weybridge, three weights of this type were found in contexts dated to the first or second century AD (Tyrell 2015) suggesting that this type was in use in the early Roman period. | whorls | null | lead | Roman | null | data/processed/OM_images_white/fulling_mill/2020 |

durma.2020.3.862 | durma.2020.3.862.1-ss.jpg | data/raw/images/fulling_mill/2020 | A copper-alloy miniature object in the form of a spear, dating to the Roman period, part of the Piercebridge River Assemblage. The spear comprises a circular-section stem which flattens and widens to form a lozengiform blade. The third of the stem closest to the blade is decorated with a series of diagonal notches. The spear measures 139mm in length. The stem measures 2mm in diameter. The blade has a maximum width of 5mm. It weighs 33.9g as it is encased in corrosion products. Spears in copper-alloy are known from several temple sites in Roman Britain, including Wood Eaton, Oxfordshire, Lydney Park, Gloucestershire and Great Walsingham, Norfolk. Their identification as 'votive miniatures' is debated and may be accessories for figurines of deities. For example, a 98mm long bronze spear from the spring sanctuary at Ihn, Saarland, Germany has been identified as a fragment of a statuette (Kiernan 2009, 99-101; Miron 1994, 60, Cat. No. 49, Pl. 66.8). One silver example and 12 miniature iron spears have also been found at Uley in Gloucestershire. Most were recovered from late Roman contexts (Kiernan 2009, 100-102). It has been suggested that the iron examples with twisted stems may in fact be meat skewers (Kiernan 2009, 104)._x000D__x000D_

durma.2020.3.2368 | durma.2020.3.2368.bb.jpg | data/raw/images/fulling_mill/2020 | An incomplete Roman, pipe-clay figurine depicting Mercury dating to the second century AD, from the Piercebridge Assemblage. The fabric is 'soapy' in feel and has a yellow-grey colour typical of the figurines from Central Gaul. The head, upper body, arm and torso of the figurine survive. The mouth is slightly distorted due to a moulding error and there is some damage to the left side of the head. Hair is represented around the forehead by a series of circular globules. The figurine is wearing a circular hat or headdress which is raised slightly at the back of the head which is damaged. There are several indentations made with a sharp implement on the back of the neck. These appear to be deliberate and made while the clay was wet. Where the figurine is broken, it is possible to see its hollow interior. There is a dragged fingerprint on the interior of the figurine. The surviving length is 75.9mm and the width 34mm. The figurine weighs 47.8 grams._x000D__x000D_

Pipeclay figurines depicting a naked Mercury are extremely rare with only two other examples known from Rheinzabern and an undisclosed location in France (Beenhouwer 2005, Part IIb, 642, Serie 518; Rouvier-Jeanlin 1972, 211, no. 493). A fragment of pipe-clay depicting a caduceus and what appears to be a naked torso found at Corbridge may represent the remains of a similar, although not identical figurine (Allason-Jones 1988, 214, No. 21, Fig. 99). | figurines | null | clay | Roman | null | data/processed/OM_images_white/fulling_mill/2020 |
